2½ cups Chinese cabbage, finely shredded 
1 tbsp ginger, minced

1 egg, beaten 
2 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce

Tips

  • Using reduced-salt soy sauce can help lower your sodium intake. 
  • Cabbage provides folate. Folate helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. 
  • Pork mince is a good source of protein. Protein is important for our cells to grow and repair.  

  • Freeze dumplings on a baking tray before steaming. Once frozen solid, portion into a freezer container and store for up to 3 months.   
  • Cabbage stores well in the fridge. Wrap cabbage in a clean damp cloth. 
  • Leftover cabbage can be used in our fried rice recipe.

Method

Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the pork, cabbage, ginger, garlic, spring onions, egg, soy sauce and sesame oil and mix well.

Step 2
Place wrappers on a flat surface and spoon 2 teaspoons of the mixture on 1 half of each wrapper. Brush the edges with cold water, fold over and press the edges together to seal.

Step 3
Place a steamer lined with baking paper over simmering water. Cook the dumplings in batches for 15-20 minutes or until tender and cooked through.
